Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 375
"Hehehe! Brother Zhu, look at the snowman I made, does it look good?"

A burst of silver bell laughter rang out in the snow, and the little girl wrapped up like a penguin was happily making a snowman, and after making it, she showed off her achievements to Zhu Youjian.

With a smile on the corner of Zhu Youjian's mouth, he stepped forward and rubbed the little girl's head, and said, "It's beautiful, the little girl is really ingenious, how about we give it a name?"

When the little girl heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, and she looked carefully at the chubby snowman she had made, and suddenly had an idea, and said happily: "Okay, okay! Brother Zhu, my snowman is made of snow. It will turn into ice when it melts, look how fat my snowman is!"

As she said that, the little girl stretched her hands to the maximum, drew a big circle in front of her, and then said, "So let's call it Bingdundun!"

"Bing Dwen Dwen?"

Zhu Youjian nodded with a smile, and affirmed: "Okay, then it is Bingdundun, our little girl's Bingdundun!"

"Uh-huh!!!"

The little girl nodded vigorously, and happily went to build another snowman.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian immediately took the opportunity to come over.

Today is the Lantern Festival, Zhu Youjian specially took the time to come out to spend the festival with the little girl, and at night he will accompany the emperor's wife and other harem women in the palace, so he can only come out in the afternoon, and today is also Qian Qianyi and other people The day when he was escorted to Beijing.

Wang Chengen was left in the palace to make some decorations for the Lantern Festival in the palace, so he brought Wei Zhongxian out today.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian approaching, Zhu Youjian suppressed his smile, and asked blankly, "Is everyone here?"

Wei Zhongxian quickly replied: "Just after noon in the afternoon, all the criminals entered the city."

"Did those people move?"

Zhu Youjian asked again?

Wei Zhongxian knew who His Majesty was asking.

The arrest of Qian Qianyi and other leaders in the literary world in the south of the Yangtze River naturally made the civil officials very anxious.

He also quickly replied: "As soon as I entered the city, Lord Su, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, came to look for slaves and servants to ask for help, and wanted to put the prisoner in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Zhu Youjian had an expression as expected on his face, and said with a cold smile: "Su Maoxiang? Hehe, it's quite positive. You gave it?"

Wei Zhongxian still replied respectfully: "Without the emperor's will, how could the servant have the guts, the people the emperor wants, unless they step over the corpse of the servant, otherwise as long as the servant is still alive, the slave will be killed." Leave it to the emperor!"

Wei Zhongxian quickly took the opportunity to show his loyalty.

Zhu Youjian smiled noncommittally. He knew how to use Wei Zhongxian, but he couldn't believe it. He didn't believe a single word. He only believed in his own news channel.

With a faint "hmm", Zhu Youjian ordered: "People are locked in the deepest part of the dungeon. Without my will, no one is allowed to visit. The three parties of Xichang, Dongchang and Jinyiwei will jointly draw people to guard. You——understand Do I mean it?"

Of course Wei Zhongxian understands that Zhu Youjian clearly believes that the three parties will have those people's secret operations. In order to prevent secret operations, the three major factory guards will send people to supervise each other. It is impossible for the three major factory guards to send people It just so happened that it was all done carefully, so the safety factor was indeed greatly improved.

But at the same time, it also means that the credit will be divided between Xichang and Jinyiwei, which makes Wei Zhongxian reconciled.

Obviously...

Obviously they were the ones who investigated the clues, and Dongchang arrested the person, and Dongchang escorted him back to the capital!

Why did it end in the end, and let those two families intervene, which made Wei Zhongxian a little bit aggrieved, but he was helpless, because indeed he himself could not guarantee that there would be no secret work by those guys in the East Factory. imperial capital...

Can't think about the rest, Wei Zhongxian hastily nodded.

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly, and then suddenly said, "How is your nephew?"

Wei Zhongxian was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that the emperor would suddenly ask about his nephew who had accomplished nothing, although he didn't know what the emperor meant, but he still replied with trepidation: "If you go back to the emperor, although the boy is not smart enough, he has entered After being part of the team, he was quite honest, and these days he also ran errands in a peaceful manner, without any mistakes."

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly: "It's really honest. I clock in for work, step on the clock to get off work, and go out to be chic and happy after work. I'm very envious these days."

With a plop, Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

Boom!Boom!Boom! ...

"It's the slaves who have not been well-educated. Please forgive me! Please forgive me!"

Wei Zhongxian cried and begged for mercy while knocking.

Zhu Youjian immediately kicked him with his feet: "Get up quickly, don't expose my identity, and I don't want to punish him, what are you doing?!"

Wei Zhongxian was stunned when he heard the words.

No punishment?
But your tone is clearly the rhythm of the announcement!

How could it not be a punishment?

Zhu Youjian glanced at him sideways, and asked amusedly: "Why, you want me to punish him for two crimes just for fun?"

"Ah! This... No, no, no! I don't want to think about it, but this servant is wrong, and this servant has misunderstood His Majesty! Your Majesty's holy name! Your Majesty's Holy Spirit!"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly waved his hands and stood up, Zhu Youjian shook his head and didn't tease him, and said directly: "I think he will be like this in his life, and this is also very good. How many people envy the days of eating and waiting to die, as long as he Do your job well, even if it's because of your hard work, I won't embarrass him.

How about this, when this errand is done, I will give her a hereditary Jinyiwei hundred households, but it will be reduced, do you understand? "

Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed when he heard this!

Although compared to Wei Liangqing's former earl, the official position of the Jinyiwei hundred households is small and cannot be smaller.

But the gold content of this is different. In the past, it was sealed by himself. The current emperor immediately became empty as soon as he ascended the throne. This is the Jinyiwei hundred households promised by the current emperor himself. With these hundreds of official positions, he can live on the monthly salary alone. You must know that the current salary is different from the previous one. After His Majesty ascended the throne, the official salary will be linked to the price at that time. Hook, the salaries of officials are many times higher than in the past. Before, it was no problem to support a family decently.

And although this official position is decreasing, there are also general banners, small banners, school captains, and strong men under the hundred households, at least allowing this kid's descendants to eat and wait for death for four generations, and after that, he will not be in charge as an uncle. It's over.

Immediately, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but knelt down again, and kowtowed to Zhu Youjian again.

The knocked snowflakes splashed everywhere, and a pit appeared on the knocked ground!

Zhu Youjian helplessly supported his forehead, kicked him directly, and waved him to retreat.

Wei Zhongxian didn't get angry when he got kicked, he smiled and saluted and retreated to the side, enjoying himself happily.

Time flies, and an afternoon passes in the blink of an eye.

Saying goodbye to the reluctant little girl, Zhu Youjian returned to the palace with Wei Zhongxian who had been giggling all afternoon.

Due to abundant domestic funds and the fact that it was the first Lantern Festival in the Chongzhen Dynasty, at Zhang Yan's suggestion, Zhu Youjian decided to broadcast a full 20 taels for the Lantern Festival. The scene of Emperor Zong will be handled.

First of all, firecrackers, all kinds of firecrackers include traditional bamboo firecrackers, as well as fireworks specially made by Wang Gong Factory for the Lantern Festival. Boys and girls selected by good people, a group of children exploded firecrackers in the palace all day long, and the sound of firecrackers rang all day long. The sound of firecrackers was everywhere, making the deserted palace lively.

In addition, there are lanterns. Different lanterns are hung in every corner of the palace. These are the top lanterns purchased from the best lantern shops and artists in the whole Beijing city.

There are horse-shaped lanterns that imply the arrival of success, toad lanterns that imply the victory of the Toad Palace, and beautiful crab lanterns, rabbit lanterns, crane lanterns, official lanterns, etc., all over the palace.

A golden pole was also erected in front of the Qianqing Palace, and a mighty and huge five-claw golden dragon lantern swayed in the wind. When the wind blew, the whole dragon-shaped lantern started to move, swimming in the air as if it were alive, watching Extremely Beautiful!

In addition, when the night falls, the place specially set aside for the Lantern Festival becomes lively.

In order to increase the festive atmosphere, the folk market scene was also moved to the palace, and various colored lights were hung on the shopkeeper's car.The car is filled with all kinds of toys and snacks that children love. Around the peddler's car, the children hold various colorful lights that symbolize auspiciousness, among which the pictographic lights symbolize peace and prosperity.

When the auspicious time comes, it will be the home field of the parade.

In Taoism, the Shangyuan Festival is the birthday of Emperor Tianguan (Yao according to folk legend). The three officials are in charge of the emperor.The Shangyuan Festival is the birthday of Tianguan, so lanterns are lit to celebrate.

In the parade, many Taoist priests put on their most solemn Taoist robes and carried special huge brushes like a catwalk, wantonly promoting the image of their own Taoist temples. Originally, there would be monks in the parade, but because Zhu Youjian Buddha's family didn't catch a cold, so they canceled it.

After the parade, it was supposed to be the part of the treasure offering team. The treasure offering team composed of foreign envoys led auspicious animals and carried corals to show the emperor all kinds of treasures presented.

There are also drummers and flute players forming a band, busily marching through the front of the hall for the emperor to review and appreciate.

However, because the Ming Dynasty has been in a difficult situation in recent years, the number of foreign envoys has gradually decreased. Zhu Youjian also exposed a group of foreign liars who pretended to be envoys. As a result, the number of envoys left in Beijing was too small, so they simply canceled up.

After seeing the parade, Zhu Youjian went to another place. Apart from the bustling bazaar, there was another place in the palace tonight. Besides the bazaar, the palace people were most interested in it. Zhang Yan is also there.

The acrobatics class was specially invited to perform a variety of acrobatic performances, such as drill rings, magic tricks, handstands, etc., which are thrilling and dizzying.

Next to the acrobatic performance, there is also a special band to add to the fun, beating gongs and drums, shouting and cheering, it is very lively.

There is also a lamp shed made of pine and cypress branches at the right rear of the juggling show. It is said that it was built in the shape of the Jade Emperor's Juao, so it is called "Aoshan Lantern Shed".There are all kinds of beautiful colored lights hanging on the light shed, and the "Eight Immortals" shuttle back and forth between the colored lights, which looks very festive.

On the other side is a grand stage, on which the best opera troupe in the capital is singing, and the bustling crowd below are sitting in rows, watching the opera and knocking sunflower seeds, having a great time.

Today, "The Son-in-Law" was sung on stage, and Zhu Youjian couldn't understand it, let alone why it was sung during the Lantern Festival.

But the emperor's wife liked it, so Zhu Youjian let her go.

He raised his head and took a closer look, and soon saw the wife of the emperor in the front row under the stage, Zhu Youjian showed a smile, and walked towards him with his hands behind his back.

As soon as I walked in, I heard the emperor's wife saying something: "Look, Yufeng, this Suzhen is really good at acting. For the man she loves, it is really distressing and admirable for a woman to do this. !"

Then there was a crisp voice: "What your mother said is that what Yufeng admires the most is that in order to save her fiancé-in-law, Suzhen, as a daughter, actually won the first prize. She is really a role model for women, which makes people yearn for Of!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yan giggled coquettishly, and teased: "Could it be that Yufeng also wants to disguise herself as a man to take the No. [-] Scholar Examination? If Yufeng wants to, I can help. Can you pass that group of stinky men! Hmph! Who said that women are inferior to men, if Yufeng really wins the exam, I want to see how ashamed those self-proclaimed scholars will be!"

"My Lady~"

"Hey! Let's call you Huangsao soon!"

"My Lady~"

"Cuckoo~"

Zhu Youjian was curious, and was about to step forward, when he saw the woman in white who had been sitting next to the emperor's wife with her back turned to him, suddenly turned her head as if she had sensed it.

In an instant, Zhu Youjian was insane.

One of his favorite poems in his previous life.

Dongfeng puts flowers and thousands of trees at night, blows more, and stars are like rain.

BMW carving cars are fragrant all over the road.The sound of the phoenix flute moves,
The jade pot turns light, and the fish and dragon dance overnight.

The golden strands of moth snow willow, the smile is full of fragrance.

Looking for him thousands of Baidu in the crowd, suddenly looking back,

The man was there, dimly lit.

Zhu Youjian was really crazy, and repeated in his mouth:

"I looked for her thousands of times in the crowd, and suddenly I looked back, but that person was there, in a dimly lit place..."

……

Lantern Festival.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is a night of fish and dragon dances.
